Product overview

The HP 5120 SI Switch Series comprises intelligent, fully managed Gigabit Ethernet switches that provide high performance, high port
density, and simplified installation to improve the value of your network infrastructure investment. The 5120 SI series is enhanced for
the access layer in enterprise networks that require Gigabit Ethernet to the desktop or at the distribution layer in metropolitan area
networks (MANs). Wire-speed forwarding delivers more effective throughput and the bandwidth necessary for mission-critical data and
high-speed communications. As part of their comprehensive security control, 5120 SI switches employ 802.1X authentication to
identify users who attempt to access the network. These switches are highly reliable, providing redundancy while eliminating loops in
the network. They also offer a range of management protocols to simplify network administration.

Features and benefits

Quality of Service (QoS)
Broadcast control: allows limitation of broadcast traffic rate to cut down on unwanted network broadcast traffic
Powerful QoS feature: supports the following congestion actions: strict priority (SP) queuing, SDWRR, and SP+SDWRR
Advanced classifier-based QoS: classifies traffic using multiple match criteria based on Layer 2, 3, and 4 information; applies
QoS policies such as setting priority level and rate limit to selected traffic on a per-port basis
Management
Friendly port names: allow assignment of descriptive names to ports
Remote configuration and management: is available through a secure Web browser or a command-line interface (CLI)
Manager and operator privilege levels: enable read-only (operator) and read/write (manager) access on CLI and Web browser
management interfaces
Command authorization: leverages RADIUS to link a custom list of CLI commands to an individual network administrator's login;
also provides an audit trail
Secure Web GUI: provides a secure, easy-to-use graphical interface for configuring the module via HTTPS
Dual flash images: provide independent primary and secondary operating system files for backup while upgrading
Multiple configuration files: can be stored to the flash image
Complete session logging: provides detailed information for problem identification and resolution
